4 Conditions for survey This section of the survey programme should provide information on the conditions for survey, e.g. information regarding cargo hold and tank cleaning, gas freeing, ventilation, lighting, etc. 4.1 The owner should provide the necessary facilities for a safe execution of the survey. 4.2 In order to enable the attending surveyors to carry out the survey, provisions for proper

and safe access should be agreed between the owner and NK. 4.3 In cases where the provisions of safety and required access are judged by the attending

surveyors not to be adequate, the survey of the spaces involved should not proceed. 4.4 Cargo holds, tanks and spaces are to be safe for access. Cargo holds, tanks and spaces

should be gas free and properly ventilated. Prior to entering a tank, void or enclosed space, it should be verified that the atmosphere in that space is free from hazardous gas and contains sufficient oxygen.

4.5 Cargo holds, tanks and spaces should be sufficiently clean and free from water, scale, dirt, oil residues, sediments etc., to reveal corrosion, deformation, fractures, damages or other structural deterioration as well as the condition of the coating. In particular this applies to areas which are subject to thickness measurement.

4.6 Sufficient illumination should be provided to reveal significant corrosion, deformation, fractures, damages or other structural deterioration as well as the condition of the coating.

4.7 The attending surveyor(s) should always be accompanied by at least one responsible person assigned by the Company experienced in tank and enclosed spaces inspection. In addition a backup team of at least two experienced persons should be stationed at the hatch opening of the tank or space that is being surveyed. The back-up team should continuously observe the work in the tank or space and should keep lifesaving and evacuation equipment ready for use.

4.8 Where Soft Coatings have been applied, safe access should be provided for the surveyor to verify the effectiveness of the coating and to carry out an assessment of the conditions of internal structures, which may include spot removal of the coating. When safe access cannot be provided, the soft coating should be removed.

4.9 A communication system is to be arranged between the survey party in the tank or space being examined, the responsible officer on deck and, as the case may be, the navigation bridge. The communication arrangements are to be maintained throughout the survey. This system should also include the personnel in charge of ballast pump handling if boats or rafts are used.

4.10 Survey at sea or at anchorage may be accepted provided the surveyor is given the necessary assistance from the personnel on board.

Notes: 1 For holds insulated for the carriage of refrigerated cargo, the limber boards and the cover plates are to be

removed and an examination of the inside is to be carried out. In addition, an examination behind the insulation is to be carried out at representative locations. The examination may be limited to verification that the protective coating remains effective and that there are no visible structural defects. Where POOR coating condition is found, the examination is to be extended as deemed necessary by the Surveyor.

2 Ballast tanks (excluding double bottom tanks) where the protective coating is found in poor condition and it is not renewed or where a protective coating has not been applied, internal examinations are to be carried out at annual intervals. For double bottom ballast tanks in this condition, internal examinations are to be carried out at annual intervals where considered necessary by the Surveyor.

3 If fresh water tanks and fuel oil tanks have had external examinations and the Surveyor is satisfied that they are in good condition, the scope of any internal examinations may be reduced to just one selected tank respectively. Notwithstanding the above, peak tanks are to be subject to internal examinations at each Special Survey.

4 For fuel oil tanks: (1) If fuel oil tanks in cargo areas for tankers or in cargo length areas for other ships have had external

examinations and the Surveyor is satisfied that they are in good condition, the scope of any internal examinations may be reduced to just two selected tanks. In cases where deep fuel oil tanks are provided, one or more deep tanks are to be included in this scope.

(2) If fuel oil tanks other than those mentioned in (1) have had external examinations and the Surveyor is

22

satisfied that they are in good condition, the scope of any internal examinations may be reduced to just one tank selected from those in engine rooms. Notwithstanding the above, peak tanks are to be subject to internal examinations at each Special Survey.

5 For fuel oil tanks: (1) If fuel oil tanks in cargo areas for tankers or in cargo length areas for other ships have had external

examinations and the Surveyor is satisfied that they are in good condition, the scope of any internal examinations may be reduced to half of the selected tanks, but not less than two tanks. In cases where deep fuel oil tanks are provided, one or more deep tanks are to be included in this scope.

(2) If fuel oil tanks other than those mentioned in (1) have had external examinations and the Surveyor is satisfied that they are in good condition, the scope of any internal examinations may be reduced to just one tank selected from those in engine rooms. Notwithstanding the above, peak tanks are to be subject to internal examinations at each Special Survey.

6 If lubricating oil tanks have had external examinations and the Surveyor is satisfied that they are in good condition, the scope of any internal examinations may be reduced to just one selected tank. Notwithstanding the above, peak tanks are to be subject to internal examinations at each Special Survey.

7 For ballast tanks, excluding double bottom tanks, where the protective coating is found in poor condition, and is not renewed or where a protective coating has not been applied from the time of construction, an internal examination is to be carried out at annual intervals. For ballast double bottom tanks in this condition, an internal examination is to be carried out at annual intervals where considered necessary by the Surveyor.

8 Ballast tanks converted to void spaces are to be examined applying the provisions for ballast tanks. 9 If a selection of tanks is accepted to be examined, then different tanks are to be selected so as to examine all

tanks on a rotational basis.

(iii) The values of the wastage allowance indicate limit values in case of uniform wear of members.

(iv) Notwithstanding the following Table 3.5-1, the wastage allowance for local corrosion such as stress corrosion and pitting are to be decided at the discretion of the Surveyor. The standard diminution limit for local corrosion other than stress corrosion is to be taken as 40% of the original thickness.

(v) Notwithstanding the following Table 3.5-1, the wastage allowance for the ships subject to the retroactive requirements for existing bulk carrier is to be assessed ship by ship.

Table 3.5-1 Structural Member Wastage Allowance

- Shell plates - Strength deck plates - Longitudinal beams (flat bar) on shear strake and

strength deck - Tight bulkheads in deep tanks*1 - Inner bottom plates

20% of original thickness + 1 mm

- Floors and girders in double bottom - Primary members (web & face) - Web, face and bracket of hold frames - Watertight bulkhead plates

25% of original thickness

- Web and face of frames (excluding hold frames), longls beams, stiffeners and brackets

- Effective deck plates - Hatch cover and hatch beam

30% of original thickness

*1 The deep tank is a tank used for carriage of water, oil and other liquids, forming a part of the hull in holds or tween decks.

(2) Minimum thickness for high tensile steel members If high-tensile steel is used in bottom longitudinals of tankers with a single bottom construction, the wear and tear limit of the web is taken as 25% of the original thickness. If high-tensile steel is used in other structural members, the wear and tear limit is to be in accordance with (1) and (2) above.

(3) Measure against corrosion When remarkable corrosion is found in the results of thickness measurement, the Surveyor should examine the pattern and extent of the corrosion through intensive inspection or thickness measurement and take a necessary measure such as (i) & (ii) below. Where substantial corrosion is found, the additional thickness measurement is required. Substantial corrosion is an extent of corrosion such that assessment of corrosion pattern indicates a wastage in excess of 75% of allowable margins, but within acceptable limits. Notwithstanding the above, for the following (a) to (c), “substantial corrosion” is an extent of corrosion such that the assessment of the corrosion pattern indicates a gauged (or measured) thickness between the thickness obtained by adding 0.5(mm) to the renewal thickness and the renewal thickness. “Renewal thickness” refers to the minimum allowable thickness below which the renewal of structural members is to be carried out.

(c) For transverse watertight bulkheads in cargo hold complying with the provision of Chapter 31A, Part C or Chapter 31B, Part C. (below (4) to be referred to)

(i) Corrosion exceeding acceptable limit The Surveyor should require repair such as renewal of the corroded plate exceeding

acceptable limit. However, special consideration may be given for structural members whose actual scantling surpasses much the Rule requirements.

(ii) Substantial corrosion Necessary instruction for further inspection of corrosion which does not exceed

acceptable limit, but where continuous monitoring is deemed necessary should be given. Substantial corrosion is to be nominated as suspect area and thickness measurement and necessary inspections of the area is to be carried out at subsequent Survey (Annual, Intermediate and Special Survey).
